Summer Rankings Intro

In my not-so-normal, everyday job I get to talk sports with anyone who cares to.  Some people like to talk golf or tennis, which I don’t, I still humor them but I d0n’t like it one bit. I prefer to talk basketball and baseball but I’ll go wherever the conversation takes me. As long as one of us knows the sport I can B.S. through it, but there’s the problem. Some people know what they’re talking about and some don’t.

Big Changes Coming

The Nuggets as we know them are out of time. It’s been reported that the Nuggets held meetings with both Mark Warkentien and Rex Chapman in the last few days. The topic of these meetings was about the future of the front office in Denver. It turns out that neither of them will have their contracts extended. It’s a decision that all parties agreed to, and was best for themselves and the team. Both men have had their names tossed around as possible replacements for various front office jobs around the league. The writing was, more or less, on the wall. Best of luck guys.

More Moves To Come?

It took the Nuggets around two weeks to make a splash in this year’s free agency market but just about 2 days to make their mark. While LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh (among others) took us for a ride the Nuggets were, essentially, spectators. It wasn’t until after the dust settled that most teams began to make moves. Quite a few teams held out hope to get LeBron, even after the first two thirds of the Miami Triangle (you heard it here first) announced that they would go/stay with the Miami Heat. So was it all worth it?

Welcome Back Carter

The Denver Nuggets will not have a problem with point guard depth for the upcoming season. The Nuggets, already blessed(?) with the services of veteran, Chauncey Billups, and second year man, Ty Lawson, have  decided to offer Anthony Carter a minimum deal.  Not a bad idea considering Billups’ age and history of nagging injuries. Not to mention the uncertainty of Ty Lawson, who has been tearing up the Vegas Summer League.

Nuggets Land Depth Up Front

Just days after James and Co. signed with Miami it seemed like no other free agent wanted to go anywhere else. Mike Miller was on the phone with the Heat front office just a few hours after the announcement that there might be a dynasty forming. Everyone wants in. And their willing to play for less. A day or two after the Mike Miller rumor Udonis Haslem signed for about half of what other teams were offering. How can any other team compete with a guaranteed trip to the NBA finals, and perhaps, a title?

Nuggets Come Up Short

There were few surprises on draft night 2010. As expected John Wall and Evan Turner went first and second. After that the Spurs had a steal at number 20 with James Anderson the BIG 12 player of the year. The Spurs always seem to find the steal of the draft no matter where they pick.

Kleiza To Return To NBA?

WOW! You know you’re desperate when….. What are the Nuggets thinking? Leave it to the Denver Nuggets, in the year of the free-agent, to try and lure a former NBA player not named Josh Childress back to The States.
